Whether you’re on a self-love journey, achieving a milestone, or simply ready to celebrate the unique, beautiful woman you are, I’m here to guide you through an unforgettable experience designed just for you.
Monique is the best! I’ve worked with her twice now for boudoir photoshoots and she makes it a whole experience. Theres plenty of wardrobe to choose from, the studio is super nice and she makes you feel so comfortable. Her guidance with posing and having her hype you up during the shoot helps you feel so confident in your own skin. The photos have always turned out great, even before any editing. Definitely want to reach out if you ever need any photos taken (:

Beauty isn’t just about appearance—it’s a mindset. It’s about having the confidence to embrace your true self, knowing you’re already stunning just as you are.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
Boudoir photography is an intimate and empowering style of portraiture that celebrates your unique beauty, confidence, and sensuality. Typically shot in a private, comfortable setting—like a studio, luxury hotel room, or your home—it focuses on capturing elegant, tasteful, and personal images that make you feel confident and radiant.
Boudoir sessions are about more than just the photos—they’re a transformative experience. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, creating a special gift for a partner, or simply indulging in self-love, boudoir photography highlights your personality, curves, and individuality in a safe and supportive environment. Every session is tailored to you, from wardrobe and styling to poses and lighting, ensuring your final images reflect your authentic self.
Absolutely not! Boudoir photography is for everyone, regardless of experience. My role is to guide you through every step—from posing and expressions to finding angles that flatter your body—so you feel confident and look amazing. You don’t need to know how to model; I’ll show you every single pose and will help you to relax, have fun, and shine in front of the camera. Every session is about celebrating you and your beauty.
Our sessions are private! We are a female team. Typically, it’s just you, the makeup artist and me. If you’d like, you can bring a friend for support.
We recommend choosing outfits that make you feel beautiful and confident—lingerie, bodysuits, robes, or even an oversized sweater are great options. You'll also have full access to our studio wardrobe. Whether you bring a suitcase full of options or arrive empty-handed, we've got you covered. Plus, you'll receive a detailed style guide with outfit suggestions when you book your session. Check out our detailed Wardrobe Guide.
